The following are the Panda Security S.L files I have collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.
The FreeFixer tool treats files from Panda Security S.L as safe, which means that the Panda Security S.L files will appear with a green background and that there is no removal checkbox for the file. However, as you can see in the scan results below, a few of the anti-virus scanners detects the Panda Security S.L file(s). I'm pretty sure those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It's unlikely that Panda Security S.L would ship a malware file.

Here is the detection names for the Panda Security S.L files. I have grouped the detection names by each scanner engine. Thanks to VirusTotal for the scan results.
As mentioned above, I think these detections are false positives since it is very unlikely that Panda Security S.L would ship a malware file.
